Very nice upgrade, however, since they already revised the head sculpt, I wish they also redid the shoulder gun barrels to make them closer to the toon, which shows the distal 3rd of the barrel's diameter drastically getting smaller as you get to its tip. The distal 3rd of MP-18's barrel had an almost constant diameter as you get closer to the tip, which really bothers me.
Not sure if you realised, but your MP-18 is a KO. The KO comes with two red shoulder cannons, the Amazon exclusive comes with ONE shoulder cannon in black plastic. Also a small giveaway is that in vehicle mode, the black lining on the side swoops up on the original, and on the KO it is straight. Finally, the head sculpt on the KO is softer and the colours are darker than that on the original.
For alt mode there really is no comparison. The original version's paint is amazing. I really prefer the real world aesthetic in alt mode compared to a cartoon aesthetic. I do the same as you, keep my originals in alt mode, and plus versions in bot mode. Always enjoy your content.
Thanks for the comparison. I have no car bots and these plus versions are looking mighty tempting compared to their original version. I’m really liking the pics of Smoke screen too.
Why dont you download a translator app for your phone? Ive got one and its working just fine. Saved my ass from breaking some of my figures by accident and can read most of the text and understand some of their warnings and caution stuff. Im doing a lot of Gunpla too so it really helps since i dont know much about those series and those feats enough to care, and thats were the app comes in to play. And its fun to hear how it sounds when they talk about Megatron or Prime for example
Goldstreak, that’s an awesome idea 👍. i prefer Silverstreak over these 2. & prefer Gold MP Bumblebee (his silver face easily outclasses the other Bee’s)
The old one looks KO
How can you tell?
Toon version is way better. It's a shame MP+ Prowl didn't come with a new head like MP+ Bluestreak did.
Agred

Yup, I realized and sold it as a KO. Thanks for the info
I’m anticipating +smokescreen as he was my favorite of the Datsun Bros.
I will be reviewing it soon, stay tuned.
Great review. I kinda like the original more.
Yep it's still good after all this time. Thanks for watching
Grabbed one too from Amazon. Thanks for the headsup on FB.
Welcome
Sometimes cartoon accuracy doesn't always work. I'm sticking with my mp . Good review. 💪
Yeah this one not sure if cartoon accuracy means it's better
The head model looks great. Its a shame the entire product looks so cheap. I mean it looks like colored plastic and not paint.
Maybe if they’d made the plus toon accurate but with glossy paint like the original it would look better.
I would have preferred glossy paint.

very good. thank you for good review!
Looks like your Original streak is a KO. The head sculpt is much softer than the original.
Tough call I can't decide which one I like better! 😱
Same

I'll have a smokescreen review as soon as I get it, thanks for watching
The original MP-18 Streak looks more premium than the MP 18+ to me **shrugs shoulders**
Me too

Good idea, I'll try that next time I have some Japanese to translate
The original looks much better
I like MP-18B because he is TRULY a Bluestreak. I also like MP-18S Silverstreak. I would like to see TakaraTomy get to work on an MP Goldstreak.
Goldstreak, that’s an awesome idea 👍.
i prefer Silverstreak over these 2.
& prefer Gold MP Bumblebee (his silver face easily outclasses the other Bee’s)
Cool
These toon versions look like trash
I love this movie.
